A Comfortable Home.

MIR. Hennis Peterman believes in hav-
ing comfortable home surroundings. and
his hone place on Second street, be-
tween Oak and Laurel streets, is one of
the handsomest and cosiest tn be found
in the city. He has recently fitted the
place up with complete system of
water works, getting his supply from an
artesian well. The front yard has been
turned into an elegant little flower
garden, at one side of which bOld,foun-
tain throws a spray high in the air, and
hose attached to the pipes furnishes all
the water necessary for irrigating pur-
poses. In the rear of the house is a very
large yard, filled with orange trees, and
the ground covered with a fine growth
of Burmuda grass, making it most de
lightful place in which to linger at any
hour of the day. 1t is an elegant little
home, in which its owner has good cause
to take pride.

Another Fraud.

Some time since man by the name
of ID. b. Vermilye, hailing from Rome,
Ga, was in Florida. To further his in
terests he ordered an advertisement
printed in THE PALATKA NEWS, with the
request that number of papers he sent
him to Rome. Ga. when he would pay
the bill. The advertisement was printed,
the papers sent and ID. Il. Vermilye re-
fused To pay the bill. In order to save
others from being imposed on by this
transparent fraud we make this matter
public.
We have shown up number of frauds
in THE PALATKv NEWS who have been
guilty of swindling orange shippers and
others, and if our friends have fallen into
the hands of any of these sharpers we
would be glad to have all the particulars
that the rogues might he exposed and
the people put on their guard against all
such frauds.

Not LAZY by any Means.

There is not so much laziness in the
worm as people want to make out We
all work. but it's always the other people
who are lazy. Now take the case of that
wealthy traveller who lived at one of our
hotels He did not need to work He
did not work; but what do you mean by
calling man lazy who could be the hero
of this story? He had a most expensive
suite of rooms and no end of extras. \
friend went up to call ON him in the fore
noon and found him just at breakfast
He was drinking tea and eating toast and
things. His manner was easy and de
liberate He had finished the cup, and
he looked calmly into it. Then he rose
and walked across tine room and rlInS the
bell. The servant came. ALI he
said, Walter, l want another cup of
tea" Certainly, sir, - said the waiter,
and he calmly walked to the table, took
up the teapot and poured the tea into the
cup. Thank you." said the English
man. and went ON with his break fast

OUR NAIL SERVICE.
The Imperfect facilities Allowed Palatka-
A Suggestion.

The Imperfect facilities Allowed Palatka-
A Suggestion.
Our business men are somewhat exer-
cised over the fact that the mail service
as now furnished Palatka operates very
unjustly against the most important in
terests of the city. In talk with a
prominent merchant, yesterday, he pro-
tested bitterly against the manner in
which mail from the South, intended for
Palatka, was carried by us at 4:15 a. m,
on to Jacksonville, and returned here at
1915 a. m, causing serious loss of time
in filling orders for goods. By this sys-
tenn our people are deprived for six
hours of their mail from the South,
which often puts them to serious neon
venience and loss.
Again, he also complained that letter
dropped in the post Office here at ) O'Clock
or later Saturday afternoon, did not
reach Atlanta, for instance, until Tues
day morning, because the change of
schedule on the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West Railway had deprived US of
an outgoing North-bOund Sunday mail.
Only last Saturday evening a merchant
mailed an order for goods 10 be shipped
on a certain steamer leaving New York,
but his letter was delayed in Palatka
until Monday, and arrived in New York
too late for the goods to be forwarded as
directed.
We learn from the postmaster that he
IL doing all i'm his mower To have the mat
ter corrected. He has written several
letters to the Department urging better
mail service, particularly in the matters
now so much complained of by our bust
ness men. We learn that the needed inn
provements could be made at very slight
additional expense to the Government.
and we hope the proper authorities will
give these matters their immediate at
tention.

The Ocala Free Press printed an

On Wednesday evening. about twelve
couples, composed of our best young
people, chartered the steamer Escort and
went on a moonlight excursion to Muir

excursion declare it was one of the most
pleasant affairs they had ever known,
and all had a most enjoyable evening.
Verify, social affairs are taking on new
life in Palatka, and we are glad to know
that the young people are having such
pleasant times.
